The work on the first floor is almost complete now. One more day or so and they'll be ready to swing the roof trusses into place with the crane.
I was down on site at 6 am in the rain on Friday to dig out the ground for the scaffolders again who refused to do it themselves for insurance reasons... and then they never turned up! Someone will be getting a irate call first thing tomorrow morning!
Martha and I went onsite together this afternoon to tidy up some of the trees at the back of the plot that were growing in through what will become our bedroom windows. They need a little bit more work but my reach with the loppers from the top scaffold was starting to exceed my grasp (and almost certainly my inurance!).
